Did Saxby Chambliss collude with Imperial Sugar?

Sarah's picture

Saxby Chambliss, in a runoff with Jim Martin to hold the seat he cheated Max Cleland out of via an ad that morphed a US Veteran into a terrorist on TV, is refusing to respond (what? A Republican, flouting the law? NO, they would NEVER do that!) to subpoenas to testify about what he knew, when he knew it, and what he said not just to and about a whistleblower testifying that the factory's management knew about the potential hazards in the plant, but to the families of victims in an industrial explosion that burned dozens, killed 14, and wrecked an Imperial Sugar plant. Oh, and remember ? Yeah, he's on Saxby's side in this clusterfcuk.

Which reminds me. Why can't the Senate do with Lieberman what it did with Zell Miller?

Saxby is actually "Clarence"

Clarence Saxby Chambliss. It seems much more prevalent to come up with political nicknames in the South. The governor os the same state is George Ervin "Sonny" Perdue.

BTW, I've always been surprised that Georgia had runoff elections for the Senate. I'm a big supporter of runoffs.

But, we've always been at war with Eastasia...

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
